Tekken 8 is Bandai Namco’s massive bet for early 2024. A premiere set for January 26 for which the Japanese continue to give us long teeth with paths betas multiplayer between now and the premiere. The next one will take place next weekend, from the 20th to the 23rd ofOctober, but there are those who have accessed it before on PC, without permission obviouslyand endangering the viability of betas on the platform.
This is not the first time we have seen something like this happen, not only in the fighting game landscape, but in Tekken 8 itself. The fighting game saw last June how a series of players accessed the files of the beta and removed all restrictions on playing early, even after it had closed. Now, the game Tekken 8 once again sees how some players have accessed the game, eliminating barriers and being able to play 10 days before of the next beta.
The problem, although it was actually an advantage for those hoping to play it legally, is that Bandai Namco enabled the game preload on Xbox and PC consoles last day October 10th. With this and a certain skill and skill, certain users have been able to access the game and enjoy the beta, without an internet connection of course, before everyone else.
Of course, this “early access” has led to the subsequent upload of images and videos of the game to social networks. This gives us a curious, and worrying, panorama on this platform. It is not the first time that we have seen certain studios limit their previous tests to consoles in the face of the danger of a possible or, in this case, the file hacking to play it before enabling the servers.
When can we start playing Tekken 8?
As we have mentioned, the beta will begin next Friday, October 20, to conclude just 3 days later, on the 23rd of the same month. Of course, Bandai Namco offers us everything on a plate and has given us the start and end time of the beta. This will begin at 10:00 a.m. (Spanish peninsular time) and will close the Monday at 9:00 a.m..
